About this property

BAYFT HOME, HEATED POOL NEAR SGI, C’BELLE & APALACH BOOKING FALL ‘25

This home is located just outside of downtown Eastpoint towards Carrabelle, overlooks St. George Sound and has 140' of bay frontage. The property has a private, sandy beach area across 98 from house and shallow water for about 500 feet out. Easy kayak/canoe/paddle board launching. Great crabbing; redfish, flounder, mackerel, and sea trout fishing (wade or kayak). Fish out front all year long; duck hunting in fall/winter right in front of the home; deer/bear hunting back of property in fall/winter. Property backs up to state forest. Large screened in pool that can be heated in cool months for additional fee. (Pool will not be heated unless weather reports indicate temperatures 60 degrees or warmer. Pool heats to approximately 20 degrees over air temps. Comfortable swimming temperatures are between 84 and 89 degrees or 78 to 84 if swimming for fitness). New deck great for viewing bay and sunbathing. Outdoor park-style charcoal BBQ grill. Screened porch w/water view to enjoy outdoor coffee, wine or dining. Minutes from St. George Island, Carrabelle, Eastpoint and Apalachicola where you can find grocery stores, restaurants, seafood markets and shopping. Master has queen bed, private bath w/walk in ceramic tile shower, TV and separate sitting area w/bay view. One guest room w/queen bed and one w/2 twin beds share bath w/walk in ceramic tile shower. Open floor plan w/bar seating, living room and large dining table w/bay view. Large flat screen TV w/Direct in living area; Streaming YouTube TV in living area and all bedrooms. Fiber optic WiFi. Fully equipped kitchen has ceramic cooktop, oven, microwave, coffee maker and dishwasher. Washer/dryer. This is a pet friendly home but please be respectful of our neighbors who also have dogs. Leashes and cleanup required. Adequate parking and turn around area for vehicles and your boat. Bring your own boat or charter w/a guide. Bay fishing, flats, offshore and freshwater. Small fish cleaning area at side of house. This home, as most waterfront homes in Eastpoint, sits across Highway 98 from the bay. We own the land on both sides of the highway. St. George Island is 15 minutes away offering pet friendly, white sandy beaches, lighthouse (self tour), SGI State Park (no pets) w/bath houses, picnic shelters, shallow boat launching, hiking, biking (rentals available). In Eastpoint, Lynn's Quality Oysters is a great seafood market and casual restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating overlooking the bay. The Red Pirate is another good casual restaurant with mini-golf and live music at the outdoor bar. Apalachicola is 15 minutes away offering boutique/antique shopping, oyster bars, fine dining, historical downtown and waterfront touring. Carrabelle, historic deepwater fishing village, is less than 10 minutes away and offers several small marinas, a public, pet-friendly, white sandy beach w/bathhouse and picnic area great for lounging, swimming or walking, Crooked River Lighthouse, WWII Museum, restaurants, grocery store, and water ferry to Dog Island. For golfers, St. James Bay world class golf course and Audubon Signature Sanctuary is about 20 minutes away and is open to the public Tuesday thru Sunday. GPS equipped golf carts, 2 practice putting greens, full size driving range and full round course. Restaurant and full service bar on site. Wakulla Springs State Park (site where Creature from the Black Lagoon and early Tarzan were filmed) is a great, inexpensive day trip for all ages about one hour from the home. It's worth the trip. Park offers swimming/diving platforms in the clear spring, a restaurant and gift shop/ice cream bar, and guided boat tours to view fish, gators, birds, turtles and manatees up close. Visit the Apalachicola National Estuarine Research Reserve about 10 minutes away from the house towards SGI. Admission is FREE. Open Tuesday thru Saturday from 9-4. Park is pet friendly (but no dogs in buildings). Educational and interactive exhibits, aquariums, nature boardwalks, fishing pier, and Millender Park provides public access to picnic pavilions and bayshore beach. Property is surrounded by Tate's Hell State Forest consisting of 202,000 acres supporting 12 major habitats, great for hiking, birding and other wildlife/plant viewing. Visit the Boardwalk overlooking drawf cypress in Tate’s Hell. Common animals such as gators, wildcats, deer and bear are found in the area. Another great day trip is to the end of Indian Pass (40 minutes away) where you can launch your kayak and paddle to St. Vincent's National Wildlife Refuge, an island that is a haven for endangered wildlife such as bald eagles, sea turtles, red wolves and Asiatic elk. Several boat rentals nearby. Bait and tackle shops nearby. 4 fishing kayaks. Basketball goal and corn hole boards for your use or to entertain the kids while you cook your daily catch. Beach umbrella and chairs for guest use along w few beach/pool toys. Minimum stay is 7 days from Memorial Day thru July 31st. If you are unfamiliar with the bay area of Eastpoint, I encourage you to message me to make sure this home is right for you. The bay is not the same as “beachfront” and not many people swim in this area of the bay. But if you are looking for a relaxing vacation in "old Florida" with a variety of activities close by, this home has it all!

You don’t have to go anywhere to enjoy this house on the bay with large sunning deck overlooking the bay and a large pool. House had modern amenities yet still has that old Florida feel. (Host description to this property is very accurate). Convenient to local restaurants, grocery stores, and the white beaches of St George Island just over the bridge. Host was very quick to respond to any questions we had.

Perfect for Us!

The property was perfect for us! My husband and I and our adult children stayed for 10 days. The house had plenty of space for all of us, was well equipped, and fairly private. There were a couple of issues with the house during our stay. This is normal and Michelle responded promptly and the issues were resolved in a timely manner. The pool was awesome! We were in it everyday after tiring of the nearby beaches. The outdoor water hose made cleaning off the sand a breeze. The bay across the street is not for swimming as stated in the property description. But at low tide, it was fabulous for exploring the sandbars and sea grass. We had a blast finding shells, catching shrimp and crabs at night with a flashlight, and wading out to do a bit of fishing. I do believe our dog enjoyed it more than we did! If you are looking for a place away from the touristy, congested parts of Florida, this may be perfect for you as well. We truly did not want to leave!
We took this photo for the screened porch. The view was amazing!

About the host

Hosted by Michelle Vaughan

Host profile image
We reside on a lake in the North Georgia Mountains. We recently purchased this property and took over the rentals. This is our first adventure with vacation rentals.

Why they chose this property

We purchased this property after staying here for our family vacation. We chose this area because it is close to beautiful beaches, great boating/fishing and away from the crowds. The kids love kayaking/fishing in the bay and hitting the pool when it gets hot. In the cooler months, the property is a great spot for hunting.

What makes this property unique

This home is conveniently located near so many great outdoor activities all year round.
